Thank you so much. Now, if only I could figure out what that second one means. ;_;

No legit TL on these Tsubaki changes, yet? = / Google tL lulzily says: So broken, we can save our computer midmatch!

Quick tossout - 2bb>5cc>22D doesn't even go into aircombo. It's techable after 6C. If it'll kill them, then go for it -- but otherwise, don't even bother.

Does dustloop have a Hamachi or IRC? Hamachi is awful for netplay, but good for getting opponents, so...

FFFF at being hours away from the main stuff in VA. It's a tragedy. I'm west of Charlottesville. As far as I can tell, there is no one here who plays BB ;_; I could go for MBAA too. = /

Besides you being completely oblivious to the last 20 pages?

So many non-optimal combos. I know you might look at the sjc one-charge, and think "it only does 200 more, so why use it?" It doing 200 more is enough to decide matches. And, when it comes time to do corner combos, 6C>jc j.bc>j.cc won't cut it after 22D. You won't get the height you need to continue the corner combo into a delicious 4.4k. It's better that you get used to it now. And that one time you dp'd ater 22D, I cringed. You lost so much damage. IF you thought you were too far away from midscreen for the combo to carry, or something, you can dash after 22D to get close enough to midscreen. j.236x is mad unsafe by itself. Toss out 2C as an anti-air. Most of Tsu's normals are bad, but 2C is really, really good. Use it, especially as opposed to going air-to-air. (j.B stuffs some stuff, but not much. 2C is much less risky.)

I think everyone got that. The leap was when he was saying difficult mirrors could count as a 35-65 for the matchup chart, because of how much more effort is required for a difficult mirror than a cake one like Ragna's. If I'm getting this right, it was a suggestion that involved including ease of use as a factor in the tier list created by the matchup chart.

The idea that some mirrors are harder and that some are easier makes lots of sense. IT's perfectly comprehendable. IT's when you try to assign matchup numbers to them that it's wonky, since it's a 5-5 matchup regardless of how difficult the mirror is. That's where everyone got lost.

"It doesn't make sense but some guy said it so it must be right"

There's no way to argue that the matchups are anything but 5-5. Now, some characters will have harder mirrors, and some will have easier mirrors. But the problems that arise apply equally to both players.

I think that this is what you're looking for

Holy shit, this explains everything

Seriously, can someone explain why Tsubaki v Lambda is 45-55? >_> <_<

Thing is, 236236D's range is godawful.

Wait, where's the Tsubaki player to bitch about how our matchups are too good? I'm no pro, but I find it hard to believe v. Lambda is only 55-45. Minimal charge time unless you like swords to the face, exceptional difficulty getting in, etc.

This going to sound kind of silly, but, when the time comes to up your ante on blocking -- you might want to get a friend, and switch to a character you have no idea how to play. This helped me /immensely/ in MB; after going for tons of matches as Akiha without getting a goddamn clue how to block high right, I switched to Tohno. I had no idea how to play him, so I basically had to learn to block or get absolutely raped. I learned in ~10 matches as Tohno what I didn't learn in at least ~100 as Akiha, because I was too focused on doing other stuff when I played as her.

Check the combo listing thread.

Pointless gimmick combos of the day: 22D>walk forward>5c(w)c>2CC>5C(w)c>sjc j.b>j.c>jc j.c>j.cc>j.236a>j.214c [3318] 214c(lol, like this will ever hit)>dash>2CC>5c(w)c>sjc j.b>j.c>jc j.c>j.cc>j.236a>j.214c [2454]

I was mostly wondering since 5B is jc-able. It's one more option, at least.

I guess that's a no.

Random question. Are Tsubaki's air blockstrings worth crap?

Wut ... ... My god, I feel really stupid for never noticing that combo'd. Still, reacting solely off 5B is probably still out of my reach. I normally hit with 2A at least twice in Melty before I know whether or not my opponent is blocking or not. Personal flaw? Yeah. Still, I feel like your reactions would have to be really good. EDIT: I can't get 5B>3C to combo normally in practice (only works on CH). Is the gatling chart wrong, or do I suck at life?

5b>5bb whiff makes people want to kill kittens.

... I hate the truth.
